Answer:

455 miles

Explanation:

585/9 is the result of how many miles they drove in an hour. It is 65 miles per hour. Then you do 65 x 7 to know how many miles will the family drive in 7 hours. The result is 455 miles.

Answer:

455 miles

Explanation:

Use cross multiplication, making sure that miles are on top and hours are on bottom:


(585)/(9) =(x)/(7)

585(7) = 4,095

4,095/9 = 455
